Racial tensions, concerns linger
By Carolyn Saraspi
Assistant City Editor
Student concerns over racial tension and hate crimes are still running high after recent incidents, including the Oct. 12 demonstration in Hahn Plaza.
According to Daniel Ruiz, a junior political science major, an inflammatory editorial in the Daily Trojan and a racially-cViarged flyer woke people up to realize what other people really think, even though those type of feelings and sentiments nave been with USC students for quite some time.
"Other things like comments from other students in class are more subtle; seeing the article and the flyer was a direct slap in the face," he said.
An unsigned flyer laden with anti-black sentiment entitled "Attention White People," along with what a controversial editorial published Sept. 28 in the Daily Trojan, prompted student leaders to hold the rally last week.
The flyer started circulating on campus after O.J. Simpson's acquittal was announced Oct. 3.
It was almost like the last straw — everything came down from there," said Amber Rasberry, a freshman public rela-
tions major and a member of the Black Student Union. "The rally was the release, the right time to vent feelings and emotions. People are on the road to talking and communicating with each other."
Jamila Nightingale, an organizer of the Oct. 12 demonstration and vice-chair of the Black Students Assembly, said minority groups have Deen working closely with the Office for Student Affairs to help combat on-campus racism.
Student Affairs Vice President Michael L. Jackson, who spoke at the rally on behalf of the
) spo of t not be
administration, could reached for comment.
"In terms of the black organizations, we have our own agenda we've been following which coincides with everything we said at the rally," said Jamila Nightingale, an organizer of the Oct. 12 demonstration.
While Rasberry and others believe the tension peaked last week and has calmed since then, a majority of students feel racism is still rampant.
"On campus after the O.J. trial everything became worse. I don't think it's getting better, but more people than before

Leadership series features Sample
By Esther Ramirios
Staff Writer
After receiving a grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation last December, the university will be offering a new 13-course series next spring called Multi-Disciplinary Activities, including a leadership course taught by President Steven Sample.
The idea for classes came from an ongoing curriculum review conducted by the university to determine ways to improve the quality of education.
According to Richard Ide, Vice President of Academic Affairs, all major institutions are reviewing their curriculum and suggesting changes.
The 13 courses are alternative classes to general education requirements and com-
bine humanities, social sciences, natural sciences or business into their curriculum.
Included in the series is a leadership class called "The Art and Adventure of Leadership," led by President Steven Sample and Professor Warren Bennis, Chairman of the Leadership Institute.
The class will only be open to juniors and seniors and is limited to about 70 students. An application process will be used in the class selection and final decisions will be approved by Sample and Bennis.
We're delighted that the president and Warren Bennis, who is an outstanding faculty member, are willing to participate in the program," lde said. "But because of the nature of these two people, who know a lot about leadership and are leaders themselves, we need to limit the class in some way and make it competitive."
Bennis said the goal of the class was to make the study of leadership a significant part of the undergraduate educational experience. "This course will try to understand the concepts and practices of effective leadership. It will give (students) a personal insignt into their own leadership potential," he said.
According to Bennis, not very many colleges offer a course taught by the president.
"Just the fact that Sample's teaching the class shows that he is dedicated to the students and wants to be involved in the development of their leadership skills that will benefit the next generation," said senior Tony Morris.
Applications for the leadership course are available in the College Academic Services building, Room 200.

Friends of sophomore Melanie Ookhtens remember her for her enthusiasm, her positive attitude, her silliness and her bright smile.
"I don't know what it was about her," said Katie Eviston, a sophomore who, like Ookhtens, is majoring in broadcast journalism. "She always made you feel special, no matter if you were in a good mood or bad mood. Everyone who knew her will miss her a lot. I know I will.” Ookhtens, 19, was murdered
